I just recently went to the doctor for a baseline lab test because I wanted to lose weight and wanted to see where I was starting at. I had long ago given up on doctor’s being of any help for my ongoing symptoms of fatigue and aches after being told by two doctors that I was depressed which I wasn’t and my husband being told by one doctor he was depressed which he wasn’t and another that there was nothing wrong with him which there was. Anyway I was feeling so poorly that I just spilled everything and she said she thought it sounded like I had a rheumatic disorder and wanted me to get tested. So I tested positive for the mycoplasm. She never gave me any other diagnosis other than unidentified bacterial infection. So where am I? It sounds like I have a bacterial infection that left unchecked would have eventually developed into some disease. Am I just in the pre-stage?
